Abstract

The study aimed to reveal how the teacher performance evaluation methods implemented by a private Catholic senior high school in Malang, East Java facilitated its English teachers towards their professional developments. This study employed a case study approach. The data from the participants - three senior English language teachers, two students, the school principal, vice principal, the head of Human Resources Development Section and supervisor from foundation were collected through semi-structured interviews. All data were analyzed qualitatively. The results revealed that the school employed five evaluation methods, namely, evaluation by students, self-evaluation, and evaluation by peers, evaluation by superior and supervision. The methods employed by the school provided positive impacts on the English teachers’ professional development, although the results of the evaluations did not serve as the main guideline for the school to include the teachers in development activities. The school carried out evaluation to ensure its teacher performance standard and the instruments to conduct the evaluation were always reviewed and adjusted to school culture and authentic conditions. The researchers suggest that the teachers should have their initiatives and build their agency to develop themselves professionally.

Abstract

This study investigates the aspects of emotions and how those emotions affect the resilience of millennial English teachers in teaching. Millennial teachers face severe challenges in teaching. They meet different demands every day in school. This situation forces them to make challenging decisions every day. Therefore, it is crucial for them to have the ability to control emotions and resilience in teaching. In this study, the sampling strategy used to select participants was purposeful sampling. The participants were millennial English teachers who were teaching in a private elementary school. In gathering the data, the researchers applied a semi-structured interview with open-ended questions. The participants were asked about how they experienced their professional teaching careers, the struggles they encountered, especially in terms of emotions and how they overcome the problems they faced in the workplace. A narrative analysis was used in this study to analyze the interview data. The researchers analyzed the participants’ answers to find important points to answer the research questions. The results showed that the millennial teachers experienced complex emotions such as disappointment, and resentment when dealing with students, colleagues and students’ parents. However, those complex emotions did not make them leave their profession as teachers. Keywords:  Emotions; Resilience; Teacher Identity; Millennial Teacher
